Make Your Hair Its Own Special Treat...

Don't Let All of Your Hollowed Pumpkins Waste

Use the pulp to create your own vitamin-rich deep treatment.

Take advantage of having pumpkins everywhere; in particular the pumpkin sale that inevitably comes right after Halloween, when supermarkets try to offload their excessive stock of pumpkins. Take advantage of pumpkin fever and give your hair the benefits, by simply blending the fruit in with your favourite conditioner, to create a intensely rich hair mask.

Your Pumpkin Hair Mask can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment on dry hair, or you can allow your hair to receive its maximum goodness by applying it to clean hair. Here's how you should do it:

Step 1.  Get pumpkin flesh, seed-free, and blend with electronic hand mix (if necessary).

Step 2. Slowly add small amounts of your conditioner, half the amount you would normally use, and blend into a thick paste.

Step 3. Apply your pumpkin hair mask liberally, from roots to ends throughout, and cover with Clingfilm or a plastic cap.


    Leave for 1hr if no heat is used; under the dryer or steamer leave for 15-20min before rinsing.

TOP TIPS:

• Try not to get your pumpkin mask everywhere; apply it to your hair carefully bending over the tub, or, ideally, in the shower.
• If applying on freshly washed hair, it's best to lightly towel dry first, to prevent dripping.
  
• Remember to rinse your tub/shower immediately from any pumpkin mask remains.
• You can use leftover cooked pumpkin, and simply smash the pumpkin pieces in with your conditioner in a separate bowl.
• Be careful to use all the pumpkin hair mask you mix at once: Products that you mix yourself should never be kept overnight, it will spoil. Even when mixing 2 or more store bought products together, never mix more than you need for that day, at a time.
• If using as a pre-shampoo treatment, then your hair must not be overloaded and thickened by grease or dirt: If not, then wash first.
• Even if you wrap your head of hair with clingfilm/saran wrap, it is a good idea to then cover with a plastic cap to catch any seepage.
